Summary
Team gets hired to investigate a missing KGB agent. Turns out it's not as simple as it seems.
Background
During the run Mainilan Fire information was uncovered that hinted towards a remnant of Ex Pacis operating from Siberia. The drone that was sent across the border to Russia's Western neighbor attempted to destabilize Erika's country and set them up in an antagonistic position towards Russia to cause a conflict. While this was uncovered and prevented, the culprits remain at large.
The Meet
Evo's employee Irena Tachikov recruits a handful of runners to go perform a job that Evo's own employees can't exactly be seen performing: a government contract from Russia that demands the extraction of a KGB agent from Finland's sovereign territory. The agent's gone dark for several days and even if he's dead, his data must be secured at all costs before the Finns discover it. For this purpose, Blackhawk and Katherine Tyler are contacted for aid.
At the same time, Erika's employee Taina Kauhava is told to contact a foreign agent for security's sake. Delphi is contacted by the lonely transwoman in Seattle's more secure apartment complexes and desperately asked to look into it. Something's off and the Russians are trying to spy on them more than usual. Erika wants to get to the bottom of it, whatever it is.
Both parties agree and after the relative meets are over, the runners decide to work together to resolve the seemingly shared threat.
The Plan
Unfortunately, the agent's signal and all groundwork done points towards him fleeing to the Haaparanta Anomalous Zone. Erika arranges for transfer for Delphi while Evo attempts for a more discreet infiltration for Blackhawk and Kate, requiring them to parachute into the anomalous area.
The Run
Once inside, the two Evo runners land straight into a bog. A razorcat causes severe radiation burns on Kate's sword arm as she lops its head off and they begin heading over to the city to get solid ground to walk on. Trees in the area appear to generate noise, having integrated ferrous metals into their bark structure and creating magnetic fields. Delphi arrives near the border from the outside and encounters necro spirits, recognizing them as Wychking's security troops. Realizing Erika's paying close attention to the containment cordon, she completes the required paperwork to enter and makes her way to a rendezvous site.
Following tracks is difficult at first and it takes time for the team to find a relatively decent bit of shelter. Filled with cockroaches, they have the skills to use insecticides and sterilize the interior, possibly guarding them from roaming foveae in the Anomalous Zone. Once there, they avoid a large Detritus Spirit resting nearby and start planning their next move.
